• Animal Control officers have a record of all vaccinated dogs so vaccinations can be verified if a bite occurs.
   
• Dogs see a veterinarian for rabies vaccination a minimum of every 3 years. Owners receive valuable education about pet overpopulation and canine disease prevention.
   
• Owners are more likely to get their dogs back if the dogs are wearing a current license tag.
   
• Licensing revenue pays for emergency medical care for injured stray animals until the owner can be found. This revenue source assures owners that their animals will be transported to a veterinarian if found injured.
   
• If a currently vaccinated dog is exposed to a rabies positive animal, it may be quarantined. Conversely, if an animal’s vaccination has expired or is not valid, it is generally destroyed.

All dogs in the local area are required to be licensed.  Licensing requirements and fees vary depending on the community you live in.  Here is an overview of licensing requirements in various local jurisdictions.  Information is believed accurate but is not guaranteed.

Roseville (City Limits)

Dog licenses may be obtained from the License Division of the Roseville Finance Department. Any dog old enough for a rabies vaccination, usually four to six months of age, must be licensed.
A current rabies vaccination certificate must be presented to license a dog for the first time or to renew a dog license. In no case shall a dog license be valid past the expiration date of the rabies certificate.
 
Fees for an unaltered dog are $30 for a 1 year license, $57 for a 2 year license, or $86 for a 3 year license.
